The more orthodox the Muslim — that is, the more devout, the more committed to the teachings of the Koran and Hadith and the example of Muhammad — the more motivated the Muslim will be to kill non-Muslims. Why?

There are several reasons. The selfish one is because it's the only way to guarantee passage
to Paradise. A Muslim can be devout, pray five times a day, make the
pilgrimage to Mecca, etc., and still have to face judgment (with a
chance of not making it to Paradise). But if he or she dies while
killing non-Muslims, there is no judgment. The Muslim who dies in jihad
goes straight to Paradise.

Another (less selfish) reason is that any Muslim who dies in jihad gets to intercede with Allah on behalf of 70 of his relatives. That's a big motivation for a would-be Muslim martyr.
He will be able to help his mother, father, brothers, etc., get into
Paradise. This also at least partly explains the assistance jihadis get
from their less-courageous relatives.

The goal of orthodox Islam is to bring the whole world under the rule of the law of Allah, by peaceful means if possible, but by war if necessary. The Islamic system of law is so abhorrent to anyone not raised with it, it has become clear down through the centuries that war is necessary for the goal to be accomplished.

By blowing up civilians, the jihadi has created a double-bind.
It is a no-lose situation for an orthodox Muslim — some non-Muslims
were killed and that's a good thing, and if the jihadi dies doing it,
that's fine too. If the non-Muslims don't do anything in response, it
will encourage other Muslims to become jihadis because no consequences
followed. If the non-Muslims make a strong response, at least
some other Muslims will see this as "war against Islam" and will take up
arms to join their brothers in the fight.

Take the Pledge

Some people say Islam is a religion of peace and that Islam has been hijacked by extremists, terrorists, and stealth jihadists who twist and distort the peaceful teachings of the Quran and quote it out of context.

Others say that political, supremacist, and even violent teachings are fundamental to Islam, and that people who say otherwise either haven’t read the Quran or are protecting Islam with religious deception (taqiyya).

The general confusion about the nature of Islam makes us collectively unable to make informed decisions. You can help end this confusion by reading the Quran. Stop believing what other people say and find out for yourself.

Many Types of Jihad

The bag of non-violent tactics used by the jihadists is deep indeed. Over the last few decades they have perfected a series of effective Jihads against the non-Muslim world while it slumbered in its politically-correct dream-world. There are many Jihads the Islamists use and they all support their ultimate goal — an Islamic world ruled by Shari'a Law. Here they are:
